We got married here and it was an amazing experience! From start to finish everyone was very helpful and accommodating of all our vendors. We even had llamas come from a nearby farm for our first look photos and for the guests to interact with before the wedding. The bridal suite gave me a great area to prepare in private while also giving enough room for my family and friends to be there for me. My husband also enjoyed having the RV to get ready as well. The views made for some incredible pictures! Highly recommend!

Zimmerwald Estate Barn and Grainery LLC 

5.0

ELLENBORO, NC
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,250

​The barn has been built from the ground up by Craig Carpenter, his brother Timmy Carpenter and other family and friends. Many of the trees use to build the barn were harvested from their property and were prepared at their saw mill on site. The idea for a wedding venue began was a dream of their daughter, now Zimmerwald's Estate manager Katie Carpenter White. What began as a simple dream and a sketch on a piece of notebook paper, has now become a reality. We are extremely excited to be a place where beautiful family memories can be made and couples can begin their happily ever after!

Zimmerwald Estate Barn and Grainery LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was clear, professional, and concise - they were always on point and easy to work with, even remaining calm throughout the process. The quality of their work was simply amazing - the venue was absolutely beautiful, and we felt we received incredible value for the price. Katie was particularly wonderful, as she was spot on with executing our vision for the day. The entire Zimmerwald family made us feel like part of their own, and they have truly become a part of our wedding story. We couldn't be happier with our decision to host our special day at Zimmerwald Estate Barn and Grainery LLC.
